Hi All,
After Corvettes and Alfas and ISFs, I discovered the Audi S8 just before pulling the trigger on a '16 Z06.

Picked up a loaded '13 S8 with 7,900 miles last week. What an amazing car. I am a lifelong car guy and after acquiring the S8, I told a friend, " What next, I found car guy nirvana!"

Looking forward to exchanging ideas with you all.

Regards,

Just to say I could not be happier with my S8. The 22k miles is not at all important. I would check to see if the 15K miles service has been performed and ask if the original owner purchased the Audi Care package.

If the car has Audi Care, the 15, 30 and 45K miles checks are taken care of. If not, it is my understanding that each of those checks costs approximately $1600. You may wish to verify that figure.

It might be worth while to search for a car that has the Audi Care package.

I recommend going on-line and watching every one of the Audi tutorial videos and also reading the owner's manual closely. I discover something new about my S8 every day.

The car is a very special ride.

Yup, the S8 is faster than almost everything I am likely to meet. Iis a true
sleeper as most have never aeen one or know what is is. Love it!

as owner of 2013 S8 i was beaten by my brother 2015 JagXK i think the weakness of the S8 is the transmission i could see his nose push while S8 shifting gears

Send him my way. Already tried a new XK. No contest.

I had a '13 Jag XKR and my '14 S8 is way faster, so not sure what happened.

I love my S8 so much that I am taking delivery now on a '16 model.
